A Canadian prisoner in Guantanamo Bay has pleaded guilty to
killing an American soldier while he was a young teenager as part of a
deal that will allow him to avoid a war crimes trial.
Omar Khadr on Monday pleaded guilty to five charges, including
murder, for throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan
in 2002. He was just 15 at the time of the incident, which occurred
during a fierce firefight at an al-Qaeda compound in Afghanistan.
